Eight Telecom discussion thread

[hereiam7788]

it is in the left menu under "profile". i also just successfully login with OTP amd create a new passkey.

Thanks bro. I re-created as well.

 

[hereiam7788]

the passkey function is really good for MVNO user which the MNVO has no proper app to track the usage, do something about their plan.

and iPhone/iPad also can open a website like a web app which looks similar to an app which is good to use as well.

Sometimes I do not have signal for like 5 mins. After that ok. This telecom got some problem.

Quick check , I haven't received a reply from Eight yet.

If I downgrade my plan, will my main balance still be there, or will it be gone?

Your Android is spelled wrongly. Never mind.

Is eight going to have 5g soon?

Main balance is tied to the number, changing plans has no effect on it.

Yes I notice recently around 11+pm 12am my house signal go down for a few mins then come back again.

No issues for all my mobile lines

Logged in to all of them just now and congregate under 1 main number.

Hi, i am thinking of getting a new Eight eSIM for my iPad (as they do not accept physical SIM), Can I add a new line using the account function after i login in and then use my existing HP number to login to access the new iPad eSIM? iPad is not able to receive SMS. Thanks.

Adding to this query, i like to seek advise if any of the MVNOs have iPad only plan?

If you want a (easily) manageable eSIM account for your iPad, I'd say Simba.

I've Simba, Eight, and Maxx in my iPads. Will be left with Simba's $5 data-only plan when I shave off the rest.

Eight has a data-only plan too, but at $8 the same rate as their mobile plan... I go with Simba.

Eight customer service really cannot. Nonsense.

Particularly if you’re a “light” mobile data user (your iPad will mostly be on Wi-Fi, such as your mobile phone’s hotspot), check esimdb.com for deals, especially those with 1 year or longer validity. For example, you can get 1.1GB of data (with roaming in lots of countries) with no expiration for US$2 (using the advertised promo code). That approach may be much more economical than yet another monthly subscription. It depends on your situation, of course.

In Malaysia with 4 sims: Simba/Maxx connecting to MY Celcomdigi automatically but would sometimes lose it and need manual setting of Celcom/Digi. Eight/zym went to maxis automatic without issue.

Simba with Celcomdigi/U mobile and Maxx with Celcomdigi did get 5G nsa quite often.

Vowifi so far has not worked on this day on any sim with any hotel wifi/mobile hotspot/backup calling which seems unusual.

2nd VoWifi test 2 days later :
Over Wifi -
For hotel wifi network only Simba works (does traffic light telco blocks wifi calling using overseas IP addr ?)

Over Zym hotspot -
Simba over zym hotspot does not work. Strangely eight wifi calling logo comes up over zym hotspot after quite some time. Maxx backup calling over zym doesn't work. Appears that zym mobile hotspot do not support VoWifi

Over Simba/eight/maxx mobile hotspot -
Simba & eight wifi calling over maxx hotspot works
Maxx wifi calling connect over simba & eight hotspot works but when calling gets incorrect number message
(could be due to impending Port in operation)

Anyone managed to change from esim to physical sim? Wanted to buy new phone but am using esim now, not sure how to transfer SIM card

Go down to the service center with your NRIC

You can also request for a new eSIM for your new phone by visiting the service centre. No charge for the new eSIM for the new phone at this moment.

That’s right! It seems their CS doesn’t know there’s an issue with the login and not even know the issue has been fixed. Just copy and paste the script.
